AHP–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal leader Munish Bhardwaj targeted Islam, during a protest against the killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh. He claimed that Islam has spread cruelty and terrorism since its inception and alleged that the Quran permits the killing of “kafirs.” He warned that situations like Bangladesh could emerge across India as well. He asserted that Muslims recognise only Islamic brotherhood, regard all others as kafirs, and that Islam justifies their murder.
